Boss & Enemy Strategies
Rosies, security bots and the final boss.
Boss and enemy strategies for BioShock.
1.Defeating Rosies
When fighting a Rosie, use armor-piercing rounds from the machine gun or pistol. A more effective way: launch frag grenades and run out a door. The Rosie follows, fires proximity mines at the door, and takes damage or is destroyed when it walks through.
2.Defeating Security Robots
Against a stationary security robot (RPG etc.), use Telekinesis to grab a crate or pallet. Hold it in front of you until you find a place to hide and plan your next move; the held item blocks some attacks.
3.Restoring a Hacked Robot's Health
After hacking a robot it fires at your enemies. If it gets hit it loses health, catches fire and eventually blows up. To prevent this, deactivate the robot, then reactivate it a few seconds later; this should restore its full health.
4.Defeating Atlas / Fontaine (Final Boss)
He has three attack styles: Flame, Ice and Electric Plasmid forms. In the first part the easiest way: use the Ice Plasmid to freeze him, then switch to Telekinesis, grab an explosive tank and throw it at him. He's predictable from far away; when he throws a fireball, move aside and he runs past — use that chance to fire the machine gun (most damage). When he returns to his chamber to heal, switch to the Flame Plasmid. When he starts his fire-and-run routine, blast him with the Flame Plasmid; the more you hit, the faster he loses health. Keep using the machine gun while he's aflame. He returns to his chamber one last time and gains electric powers; hit him with the Flame Plasmid and he runs for the water — hit him again when he comes back out. Splicers are around too; set them ablaze for extra health.
